Presynaptic Ca2+/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase II Modulates Neurotransmitter Release by Activating BK Channels at Caenorhabditis elegans Neuromuscular Junction

Although Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is enriched at the presynaptic nerve terminal, its role in neurotransmitter release is poorly defined. We assessed the function of presynaptic CaMKII in neurotransmitter release and tested the hypothesis that BK channel is a mediator of p...
